What Casues Development Of Feminine Features In A Man?
Question: I’m a 31 year old male. My personal problem worries me to no end. I feel manly and have reasonably good libido towards the opposite sex. However since childhood I have been developing certain feminine features like an hour glass figure. Narrow chest and shoulder and wide hips like woman. No breast formation thankfully. Altough my body & facial hair is very less compared most XXXXXXX Men. My skin and flesh is soft smooth and supple like woman and not rough and hard like men. Also some other female like features.
I have attraction for the opposite sex only and have regular sex. I have been regular to gym for last 3 years but haven’t been yet felt a considerable change in the above features except that my Chest and shoulders are little more broader now than what it used. My penis size is also average. As I was worried about these feminine features till no end I happened visited a doctor (Endocrinologist) in XXXXXXX few years back and conducted the following test which came out to be normal
FSH
LH
Prolactin
Lipid Profile
TSH
Free Testosterone
Testosterone
Estradiol etc.
A more worrying observation is that both my Sisters sons are also now showing similar features as me and Im afraid that they would too have same slight self confidence issues like me when they turn adults.
What is the explanantion here and are there any cure??
Is it true that alcohol generates female hormone endocrine and subdues male hormones testosterone?

Brief Answer:
Hello
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Good day,
I beleive i answered your question few days ago. Since there was no reply from your side, i thought probably you didnt like my answer.
As i said earlier, you have normal sex drive ( libido) and the hormone tests done showed normal values. Particularly the estradiol was normal showind that the female hormone is not excess.
It seems like a familial trait. Since the hormone tests are normal, please do not worry. Regular exercise under the supervision of a trainer can surely change the body shape to a more masculine type.
Alcohol cause liver damage and testes damage. In that case, testosterone hormone reduces, and female hormone level increase. In men with cirrhosis of liver, we often find shrinkage of testes and enalrgement of breasts . This is due to excess female hormone estrogen.
Once again let me tell you that, your hormones are normal and you just have to tone your body under supervision.
Regards
Binu
